Yeah I didn't get the opportunity to take it in year 11 and I wanted the qualification so I just sat it this year.


Fair enough

Who got s=t^2 for one of the questions?


Yes! Hopefully that’s a couple of marks on that disaster of a paper

i tried 2009 to 2017 papers. they were nothing near this level of difficulty. was hoping to celebrate s is my last paper. just feeling uncertain now
This is my last exam too- I don’t feel excited for the holidays at all.

The lowest grade boundary i believe was for the 2016 paper which was 59 for an A. Hopefully it will be lower for this year's paper

On the answer where sinθ was 1/5, for the answer with tan θ did anyone else rationalise the denominator?
(edited 5 years ago)
Yh I did like root 6 divided by 12

When you do every past paper you could get hold of and the exam board decides to make it harder than every single one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Such a difficult exam! Did anyone get the values of m for the y=mx-2 circles question?
(edited 5 years ago)
what did people get for the question about the circle? there were two questions about these tangents y = mx - 2 and a circle and i answered none of them, they were worth like 10 marks together
I think m was meant to be -root 18 and root 18 but I only realised after so I just wrote 1 and -1 ugh this is so annoying. I acc think I haven’t even got half.
